There will be feeling of relief On learning
that the case of suspected yellow fever re-
ported yesterday proved to be nothing more
serious than maarial fever. Still it is so late
IN the season that little alarm need be felt
even if one or two isolated instances Of yellow
fever should occur That they will occur,
however is hardly likely
While majority for the Government on
the critical vote on Mr. Gladstoncs resolution
was cone edcd, it was not expected that it
would be 50 large The majority is IS, the
vote being 272 t. 1914. But even this shows
r a.
Mr.. Gladstone and Home Rule, who year ago
boosted majority of 118. Coercion will now
proceed, but the reaction against it is inci-
table.
The appointment Of eX-Judgc McCuc as
CommiSsiC ncr Of Fish and Fisheries is one Of
those surprises Of which the present Admins
tration has been prolific. The Solicitor Of
the Treasury is pretty well known lawyer,
but his qualifications to succeed so e0nent
q scientist as Professor Spencer f. Baird are
not apparent There are many men in the
country who could take up Professor BairFs
work and cary it on satisfactorily; but it is
extremely doubtful whether Mr.. McCuc is
one Of them.
If the disclosures in regard to fraudulent
registration in ST. Louis arc correct an as
founding state Of things is revealed in that
city. According TO the statement Of the Re-
corder Of Voters, out Of 10000 registrations
made prior to the spring election of 1856,
10000 were fraudulent This indicates a
wide-rcac hing conspiracy to defeat the will
Of the people How it could have been carried
IN successfully and concealed so long is hard
to understand.
Probably the talk about Sharp's failing
mental powers is nothing but talk. Sharp is
in rather feeble health and he has been under
going severe strain for many weeks. But
when he was examined recently by physicians
In behalf Of the District-Attoncy he was
found to be entirely sane That he has since
become otherwise there is no reason to believe
The suggestion that he is approaching insanity
Is it would seem. intended to arouse sympathy
for the old man. If such case were made
out he could not be lawfully imprisoned. But
be could be sent to an asylum, which would
be hardly less iIksome than the State Prison
The Prohibition Convention at Syracuse
closed its labors yesterday. The Rev. ID. W.
C. Huntington, whom it nominated Tor Secre-
tary of State is doubtless an excellent gentle
man, although little known to the voters at
large. The platform adopted discusses pro-
hibition in its various phases, demands suffrage
for women, favors cooperation and profit
sharing, and takes up the familiar cry against
the party which has achieved for temperance
pnd prohibition substantially all the practical
measures which have thus far been carried
There are many good men and sincere,
